$235K for a '59 LP? I think that's nuts, but I've seen them listed at $600K. What really caught my eye was the claim a 1982 Strat was worth $19.5K!!! Move that decimal point one place left and maybe we can talk - if this was '82 & it was new; early 80s Fenders were, um, let's just say not prime examples of Leo's genius.

The famous "Wolf", Jerry Garcia's Alembic that is the basis for the Further design, (though it has also been claimed by Doug Irwin - several discussions of which are around here), sold at auction for $789,500, including the "buyer's commission".
